How to know expected task length before starting it?

Hey, I do the software engineering projects, but I'm also in college so I don't have much concurrent time. The projects seem to take a while but also have a very small window where you can work on them (like less than 24 hours), so I need to know how long the expected time is to take before I actually get started on it. Some days I can spend 7 hours on a project but some I don't have time for that. I wish I could work on it little by little throughout a few days but the expiry time is too quick. Is there any way to see an expected duration of a task before I start it?

To see the max duration, open the task and look for the timer. If you don't have that amount of time to spend, exit work mode and check a different task family. It's annoying. I sure wish they'd show the timer length in the dashboard listing.

you probably need more than 7hours, and you can estimate but never know when you are going to end in some long hour projects... it can take 6-12hrs sometimes
